It's been pointed out in the article's comments that the article is wrong. EBCDIC code pages 37 and 1047 each have support for all of Latin-1. The bank just doesn't want to support it. Furthermore, UTF-EBCDIC is a thing.

- NelsonMinar 3y agoWow, UTF-EBCDIC is a new one on me! Ugh. Wikipedia says "This encoding form is rarely used, even on the EBCDIC-based mainframes for which it was designed" so that's encouraging.
- SeanLuke 3y agoHuh, someone on Wikipedia must have seen my link to their Code Page 37 article and deleted the entire article 6 hours later. Seems pretty harsh. Wikipedia can have lists of all available Troll Dolls but it can't have an article on an important EBCDIC code page because it's not "encyclopedic" enough.
